Macy's in New York is holding a one day promotion to purchase Weatherproof jackets for the price of the outside temperature. 
NEW YORK -- Macy's and the union representing workers at its flagship Manhattan store and three other New York locations have reached a tentative agreement. Both sides continued negotiating after the midnight deadline in the hopes of reaching a deal.
On Monday, more than 4,000 workers with Local 1-S of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union had voted to strike if a new contract was not reached by Thursday.
The other stores are in the Bronx, Queens and Westchester County.Workers employed at the Herald Square store will begin voting on the proposed contract Thursday. The other stores will vote next week, Monday through Wednesday.
"The workers at Macy's today are sending a clear message to working people throughout this country: when people join together in strong unions, they can fight back and win," union president Stuart Appelbaum said. "While working people throughout this state and country have been under assault, the unionized workers at Macy's have been able to make impressive gains. It is a lesson that working people everywhere need to understand."
